The Junior League of Houston hosted its 70th annual charity ball inspired by “the magic of Paris, the glamour of the French Riviera and the beauty of Versailles.” The event raised $800,000 to fund the Junior League’s Community Program and volunteer initiatives. Over two nights, guests enjoyed cocktails, a dinner by Michael Smith, the Tea Room Chef, and the chance to witness artist Patti Stenson as she created a custom piece of Marie Antoinette for the live auction. The silent and live auctions took place each night and included items such as a VIP Indy 500 experience and a Houston Astros homerun package including a dinner with Reid Ryan, president of the Astros, in the Diamond Club.
